Location, location

The Times has another feature on the social benefits of the clustering effect which I recommend. Location is never an inconsequential question.

A bit says:"Ms. Hopkins of Morningside Heights says that her willingness to travel for Mr. Shapiro of Brooklyn Heights began on their first date, which took them from a play to a party on the Lower East Side — on a Thursday night, no less.

“On the $25 cab ride home,” Ms. Hopkins wrote in an e-mail message, “I called my friend, and said, ‘I just went below 14th Street after 10 p.m.’ To which he replied, ‘You like him!’ ”

The couple have been dating for seven months, and Ms. Hopkins has moved her line in the sand farther south.
